On Monday, Alley appeared with fellow "Kirstie" cast members Rhea Perlman of "Cheers" and Michael Richards, who played the character Kramer on "Seinfeld," on various morning shows promoting her new TV series.

"When we got what we wanted, it was sort of shocking for me," Alley added. "It's fun. I like to play characters that I'm never going to be. I play a huge Broadway star that's been famous for 25 years and (she's) really selfish."

"He says Abercrombie clothes are for people that are cool and who look a certain way and are beautiful and who are thin and blah, blah, blah. He goes on and on and on," Alley told "Entertainment Tonight." "That would make me never buy anything from Abercrombie even if I was cool and thin. I got two kids in that [age] bracket that will never walk in those doors because of his view of people."

Jeffries responded in a statement released to "Entertainment Tonight" where he apologized for his words which he claimed were "taken out of context."

"We are completely opposed to any discrimination, bullying, derogatory characterizations, or other anti-social behavior based on race, gender, body type, or other individual characteristics," the statement read.
